Decimals Class Party activity


Congratulations - you are a winner! You entered a radio competition to win $100 to throw a party for all your friends and you won. Because you are such a fantastic

person you decided to throw a party for your whole class. You are to use the online catalogues from Safeway and Coles to work out what food you are buying

for your party. You need to take into consideration the following:


  • You need to have enough food to keep 25 hungry students happy
  • Some of the students like healthy snacks so you must include some healthy food choices
  • You will need to have something to drink - enough for 25 students
  • You can not go over budget



In your Maths books you need to create a table similar to the one below. Remember to check your place value and make sure your decimal points line up.

You need to add up your shopping (do it without a calculator and then double check using a calculator) and then work out how much change you will have from $100. You cannot go over budget!
